Confetti

As quilters we make a lot of quilts over the years. Do you ever make one and say to yourself, "This is my favorite quilt!"? I have with the newest quilt I made. You see I sometimes test patterns for Stephanie of Loft Creations. This quilt pattern is called Confetti. I had the privilege of testing this pattern recently.  I will admit that I pretty much copied Stephanie's because I just thought it was so cute.
Last year I participated in a 10"square low volume fabric swap. I had been saving these fabrics for just the right pattern. As you can see this was just the right pattern. Didn't Stephanie create a fun pattern?
Here are some close ups of some of the fun fabrics I got in the exchange. Others were given to me and others were in my stash.

This one is really not considered a low volume fabric. If you scroll back up to the finished quilt you will see that I put it in the right hand corner. This fabric is one I bought when Mr. P. and I took a road to trip California in 2012. When I see this fabric it brings back memories of the best trip ever.
Here are some shots of the machine quilting done by Sew Sisters. Thanks Karen!


I know you will want this pattern. So head over to Stephanie's to see how to get one. Her patterns are very well written with great diagrams for those of us who visual.

Now go and do what this little piece of fabrics says! :0) That means go make a quilt!
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Love it! I made a low volume quilt before I ever heard the term, and I adore it. It just seems cozier.

Robin said...

The low volume fabrics are such fun in this-- they make your focus pieces pop and it just has such a happy, warm look! Love the quilting. :)

Candace said...

I really love your version, Carrie! What cute fabrics and the Route 66 square takes it over the top! The quilting is just perfect!
Cheers!

very pretty and it would be my favorite too... although my husband laughs at me because everytime i pick up one of my quilts and fold it, i say "I think this is my favorite of all the quilts ive made" They are all my favorites for different reasons! lol.

Terri said...

I'm not a low volume type of gal, but this one is a winner. You did great incorporating some fun fabrics. Great quilting pattern too.

That is an awesome quilt. I always think of quilts like that as nap quilts as they are perfect for taking a nap under. Not like I have time to take a nap, but it's nice to pretend. hee,hee,hee.
